*Dream*
A young wolf cub is overlooking the hills as if never seeing it before. She has the body and figure of her ancestor Aleu but the eyes of Aleu's mother Jenna except that they are blue.
She dreams that she is running. Running from the footsteps of the mad man with the gun and *BANG*, she wakes up!
Anya is full of sweat as her two dogs Kano and Kia comes scurrying around the corner!
Kia: Oh my gosh, what do you think is wrong!?!
Kano barks and she leans down to pet him. "Oh man, what a nightmare......"
She remembers the scenes changing from sledding with the three dogs- Coller, Aluk, and Atobi when a big dark hole came and gobbled her up and she felt herself plummet towards the Earth in a very fast approaching pace and then, she blacked out in her dream only to land next to some soft fur. She should have been scared but strangely, she was comforted by the female brown alpha and in her dream, she could speak to them like she would to humans- it was an interesting relationship. There was also a big black wolf called Black Fang and he was the leader and supposedly, her alpha father. They are called the pack of the northern black hills shayan valley.
They've had previous pups and those pups are still living with their parents unlike the other clans where they would push the older ones back for they knew that Itaha's labor wasn't anything that they could help and therefore her wound was opened and hence, no more pups for the pack so they were lucky to be able to save those pups. Only, they do not know what lays before them yet. Anyways, mother Ottawa is the grandmother of the pack and she had suggested that they find abandoned wolf cubs as soon as they can but they won't be expecting what's about to happen next and neither will the human.
Topaz, the little beta is a female that is white with Nala from the Lion King's eyes and she is sitting next to a tan female named Jade with Kiara's eyes but they are jade in colors.
Lyrcos a brown and cappacino wolf is sitting next to his father Gray Hound.
All of them has the same mixtures of feelings and desires about the new lives.
There is one wolf who isn't happy and that is a black wolf with light green eyes named Jetdikha and she is envious of the alpha and his female alpha for she is not thrilled at all about the coming of the savior wolves and she wants revenge against her pack members for wanting to disban her.
She quickly slinks away unnoticed and her only pup Detkho follows her.
The dark gray wolf Takhitda also follows her.
The human girl Anya had just gone outside when it starts to snow really bad and she can't see beyond all of the blowing frosts and snowflakes so she goes back in, grabs her coat, puts it on, and goes into the center of the storm while her two dogs stands there and wonders...
But they quickly follow her into the forest and she goes deeper and deeper into the dark meadowy woods where everything is blackened and she can only remember the dream that had told her to come into this forest before. What was this dream? What did it mean? Kia and Kona paused to sniff the air and finds something that smells like more dogs but are a lot stronger, kind of like wolves and they all look up as a twig snaps and a large beige wolf walks out.
Kia looks like she's about to tuck in her tail and run while Kona is just rooted.
Nicaya sister of Aniu: Do not be afraid, I am not here to harm you but only to deliver a message through this song-
Night sky
Do you hear me
Do you hear your ancestor
As the river follows me through
Can you hear their howls
Through their sorrows
Mingling with their light
Eternal night
Eternal light
Starlight
Starbright
As the song fades, its audiences are in stunned silence.
Kona: Wow, that was just wow!
Kia: Yeah, how did you do that!?!
She was talking about how the wolf just vanished.
"Because I am a ghost wolf." They all stare at her in shock!
Kona: A ghost wolf!?!
The large wolf stares down at her paws and then, she looks up and faces them. "Yes, I am."
Suddenly, she begins to tell the girl of her fate and something changes her and soon, she is on paws and fur.
The girl spins around to look at the new tail that she now sports and yelps! "What!?!"
"You are a wolf and the Native Americans once said that the wolf has the power to change in shapes and forms and that they are guarded by ancient magic that had been once soiled by the goods of man. My sister Aniu wants you to be the new pack order." The girl and her two former K9 companions are then, told to walk through the coalition paths where a pack of hungry and greedy wolves are feeding off of a carcass of a great white moose.
Coalition Valley, 2000 miles away from Nome, and a home for many packs of wolves- it's a quiet place to hunt so many of the earthly riches had been chewed away and now, the peaceful place is like a wasteland with nothing but the bones and remains of cows and bucks.
The calves here lives through misery and many cold nights and so they run from the coalition- the pure hunters.
A Zira looking dark gray wolf who had been in many battles had walked out of the dark and her many scars had shown it.
She looks around and snarls. "If you want to be a coward then, lay down your life before us or else, follow me to the training grounds to prepare for our victorious return to GLORY!"
There was a loud growl. "I'm ready to lay down my life!"
A bolder crimson and cream wolf walks over and stares her down with his glowing vicious eyes. "Are you really?" The black wolf Jetdikha lowers her head and hisses, "Yes!"
"I'm willing to open my own throat!"
Meanwhile, the trio of two dogs and the girl had been told to follow the wolf and she leads them to the den of the blackhills' pack who are curious and some are even surprised that a wolf had led two dogs and the owner to a whole pack of wolves who could have jumped to their defenses and attacked but this wolf just calmly walks into the den with the leader and the three behind them and she had no desire to talk to the pack glaring at her. One wolf even asked why they brought in strays but the alpha is the decision maker of the pack and they all relies on him for the answers and he generously allows them to stay.
